Key Properties

Ultra-High Brightness

Controlled thermal calcination delivers brightness values of 91–95%, exceeding standard hydrous kaolin grades.

Excellent Opacity

Increased refractive index and air-void structure after calcination boost hiding power in paints and plastics.

Electrical Insulation

Low conductivity and high dielectric strength make it ideal for cable compounds and insulating components.

Weather & Dispersion Performance

Superior dispersion and weather resistance support long-lasting performance in exterior and industrial coatings.
